Sunrise Grace

I strike a match, a final chord
And say rejoice to you my Lord
The noon day sun spreads arms out wide
To worship you, it's life giving friend
A song raised up, each day true
A story of your grace, forever new

A Letter to...

I fight fires that have yet to start
I find new ways of inventing the past
Mistakes mark every turn I take
But this glorious moment that's about to occur
Our own private fight club of theology and lead
I won't be taken to grave tonight


This self-serving attitude has got to end
I maintain my rights to live outside of your regulations
I will back down in the interest of harmony
But my unwillingness to argue doesn't give you victory

You can't control me

Moments in My Mind

Half my life is spent in moments of idle wonder
Staring out the window for a hint of your coming
Thoughts go back and forth to our magical moments
The world but a haze to the love we both share
A kiss that burns that sky and brings great cities to it's knees
A kiss shared between us races through my mind
Oh dear, you've put a spell on me that I can't break free of
My love for you grows stronger with each day that you're just a thought in my mind
Don't be a stranger my sweet lily pad, your presence here is welcome
Where we can share a lifetime in each other's embrace

The Song Remains The Same

The song plays on my stereo, over and over
With each resonating from the speaker, your face crosses my mind
Like a drug, I hit repeat and take another walk with you

This magic moment replays over in my mind
And I find myself longing for it more now then ever
Hoping these slow winter pass with speed
And spring ushers in your return.

Your hesitance at a return is a slow push on the bruise of my heart
A resistance I chalk up to a desire not to play God
But I still dream for the warm summer months
Barefoot walks on the beach holding your hand

So I sit by the fire with coffee in hand
Listening to this song, and dream of being your man

A Good Living

There's a line in the sand, drawn long ago for those to choose sides
Yet picking my side seems like a task far too hard for my frame of mind
I stand in front of a life so far from complete, the devil just grins at me
And seeing nothing stable in front of me, I cower in panic
Life is too big and too unpredictable and I'm left without direction
Praying all day and night for just the smallest hint from God
My faith seems to be coming undone but my faith is what's holding me together
Tears blind my eyes as I tussle with the life of unknowing
Mistakes I've made and steps I never took, line the halls like dark shadows
Too much grief fills me and the excitement of months prior is all but forgotten
Shouts to heaven seem like the futile act of repeating what's been said over and over
My very words revealing what little faith I have
God help me
